Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Are you on any medication? How much? Which ones? Have you been tested? What are your results and what are the ranges for those results? It's too difficult to evaluate from what you've said. There's not enough information. <>Roni Immortality exists!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yes but still, the very fact that she is diagnosed means that she , like me is seeking info on food that relates - diet issues that help/harm.  Pilar - I have been after the same info..hard to find.  Sharon From: pilarave2@sbcglobal .net <averyp22hotmail (DOT) com> Subject: foods that heal hypothyroidism Date: Sunday, March 14, 2010, 1:09 PM can anyone suggest foods that can help hypothyroidism? i sleep constantly and am depressed. perhaps I need to increase my intake of fruits and vegies.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi Pilar,  Unfortunately, if you are suffering from hypothyroidism you will not be able to make it better with any kind of food. Your first step should be to get a TSH test which can be performed by your family doctor. Once they determine what your levels are, they can begin to treat with a T4 supplement like Synthroid. It can take a while for you to start feeling better as the process of finding the correct dosage can be cumbersome. It took 9 months for them to find the correct dosage for me, though i did start feeling better well before then. I now take 137mcg a day and have been feeling fine, though I keep an eye on it as I believe i have Hashimoto's, as it was under control then started getting worse.  Regarding food, increasing fruits and veggies is always a good idea. I have been told to stay away from Walnuts and anything with Soy in it. I've also heard to limit my pork intake.  From: pilarave2@... <averyp22@...> Subject: foods that heal hypothyroidism Date: Sunday, March 14, 2010, 3:09 PM  can anyone suggest foods that can help hypothyroidism? i sleep constantly and am depressed. perhaps I need to increase my intake of fruits and vegies.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 You need to eat a healthy diet but beyond that foods aren't going to help. You have to have T3 [which normally you make from T4] if your body does not produce it or you will die. Foods that are called goitrogens [Google it] should probably be limited or avoided; but personally I don't bother. Soy [at least if unfermented] is a no-no, but I try to avoid it as much as possible anyway [given that it is in so many foods it's almost impossible to avoid completely].
